A Rare 16mm Film Luftwaffe Flight Training - Full roll of black and white 16 mm film, with the traditional forest green lead-in before titles appearing in German, followed by the actual movie itself, on a six-spoke reel, the reel maker marked "Neumade" on one side and measuring 16.3 mm wide x 177 mm in diameter. It comes in its silvered tin canister, die-stamped Luftwaffe eagle on the lid, streak of white paint on the side with "560" over "2" in black ink inscribed, canister measuring 26.5 mm x 182 mm, reverse side with circular paper residue from a previously existing label, gilt wear and evidence of surface rust on the canister. The film appears to be viewable with the proper 16 mm projector, as it does not exhibit the "vinegary smell", which usually indicates it that the film is deteriorating. A terrific and rare WWI collectible, extremely fine.

A Kriegsmarine Officer’s Dagger by Carl Eickhorn, Solingen; measuring 421 mm with the scabbard on, this dagger features a very well preserved unsharpened 249 mm nickel-plated magnetic steel blade; with a semi-sharp tip. The blade’s reverse ricasso is maker marked “Carl Eickhorn, Solingen” with the company’s later designed squirrel insignia. The blade exhibits a beautifully engraved ornate naval design on both sides with miniscule scratches common to extraction and return to the scabbard, with a double-edged diamond cross section with double blood grooves in the centre on both sides of the blade. The thin brown leather blade washer remains fully intact and attached to the dagger. The fittings are brass, bearing an anchor design on both sides of the crossguard, with a blade release button on the maker marked side of the dagger. The off-white celluloid grip shows no fading from age, and is overall very well preserved without cracks or significant signs of wear, complemented by seven rows of wrapped twisted brass wire with pleasant patina. The pommel exhibits a detailed Naval eagle standing on a wreathed swastika, with nearly no surface and gilt wear. The ornately-designed scabbard exhibits very light contact wear near the bottom without dents and with pleasant patina from age. The throat is held firmly in place by period screws, with the body having two bands displaying the traditional oak leaf design with thick dagger hanger rings; matching Kriegsmarine dagger portepee; fabricated from fine aluminum bullion wire; the head in multiple rows of innate twisted wires; the centre of the head in loops matching embroidery; the stem in a thatched design; with long fine aluminum wire cord tightly wound around the scabbard and pommel of the dagger; in very well preserved condition.

This is a well preserved Luftwaffe blue/grey “Fliegermütze” constructed of a grey wool/rayon blend, with fold-down side and back panels with gently sloping, downward scallops to the front. The front of the cap features a machine embroidered Luftwaffe eagle patch in silvery/grey cotton threads, mounted on matching blue/grey wool/rayon blended backer. Directly beneath is a machine embroidered national tri-colour cockade in black, white, and red rayon threads. Both the eagle and the cockade appear original to the cap and are hand stitched into place. The interior of the cap is fully lined in grey rayon, displaying a large black mark, and although old, it does not appear original to the cap. The cap measures 295 mm x 112 mm when folded. Overall extremely fine condition with some wear marks on the inside liner of the cap where the fabric has started to thin-out a bit.
